CAP FOR MUSTARD-BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,635, dated October 6, 1885.

Application filed March 27, 1685. Serial No. 160,162. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND WOLFE, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and In1- proved Cap for lVIustardBottles, of which the following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a cap for mustardbottles having a paper disk which must first be cut out before access to the bottle is obtained.

The invention consists, principally, in the combination of a flanged ring with a cover and a paper disk; also in extending the flange beyond the inner edge of the bottle to which the cap is applied, all as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical central section through a bottle provided With myimproved cap. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.

The letter A represents a bottle having a screw-threaded neck, d, which is surrounded by a correspondingly screw-threaded ring, a, having an upper flange, a. Upon the neck d and beneath flange a there is placed a disk, B, of thick paper, or equivalent material, which may be readily out out by a knife.

b is the cover of the cap, hinged to flange a by means of hinge c.

In putting up the mustard the sheet B is first placed on the neck (I, and then the ring a is secured to the neck. The paper disk B will thus be held in position between flange a and upper edge of neck d. In this condition the bottle A is brought into the market.

The consumer cuts out the disk B in line with inner edge of flange a, and the contents of the bottle are then accessible. The lid 2) closes over the paper disk B when the latter is still in place and over the opening within flange aafter the paper disk has been cut out.

I prefer to have the flange a project inwardly a short distance beyond the inner edge of neck d, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the knife may be guided by the flange in cutting out the paper without coming in contact with the glass.

This cap may also be applied to jars for containing pickles and to other receptacles.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination of ring a, having flange a and cover 12, with the disk B, secured beneath flange a, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of bottle A, having neck d, with flanged ring a, and disk B, the flange of ring a projecting beyond the inner edge of the neck d, and with cover I), substantially as specified.

FERDINAND WOLFF.
